CELEBRITY ASTROLOGICAL PROFILES

Celebrities are fascinating creatures because they give us a glimpse of the human experience that we cannot find in everyday life. Often their lives seem more glamorous, and their crises are played out in an arena that is far more public than most of us will ever experience. As a result, they provide an excellent tool for exploring the magic of the astrological chart as delve behind the symbols into the mysteries of human behavior.

My source for birth data is usually the wonderful Astrodatabank site, which is now hosted at Astro.com. Lois Rodden and her helpers worked for many years compiling this huge collection of data which is now available to the public at no charge. I also work in collaboration with other astrologers around the world to be sure that the data used is as accurate as possible.

Still, we very often cannot locate the time of birth for a celebrity or other newsmaker, and in that case I set up the chart for noon and place the Sun on the Ascendant. I use noon rather than sunrise or some other time because being halfway through the day, it gives us a clearer idea of the placement of the Moon.

Without the time of birth we cannot tell for certain what the Ascendant of the chart is, or the Midheaven, or which houses the planets fall in. But we can glean a great deal of information from the placement of the planets in signs and the aspects that they make to one another, to learn more about the personality of the people in whom we find so much fascination.
